Welcome to Daily Insight,

My name is François and in this episode I will talk about the imposter syndrome.

So get ready to expand your perspective and embrace positive change.

It's not what you are that holds you back,

It's what you think you are not.

Dennis Whitley.

I once joined a mastermind group.

During the first session we were all sitting around the table sharing our goals.

I was sitting at the end of the circle.

Now let me tell you,

Everyone before me was shooting for the moon with their big fancy goals.

And there I was thinking,

Damn my goals are too small,

I don't belong here.

Do you know this uncomfortable feeling of not being good enough?

Of feeling like a fraud?

Or just being at the wrong place?

The imposter syndrome is a familiar feeling for high achievers.

I had to deal quite a lot with those thoughts when I decided to launch my business,

When I started public speaking and sharing my message or when I published my book.

But I realized that instead of getting crazy with the doubtful self-talk,

Feeling like an imposter was actually a fantastic indicator.

It tells me that I am stretching myself,

Pushing my limits,

Leaning on my edge and playing big.

Don't get scared of the imposter syndrome.

Use it as a measurement of how big you play.

It's a powerful shift in perspective.

Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Recognize when you feel like an imposter and acknowledge yourself for being bold and audacious.

Then keep playing big and celebrate yourself.

That's the way forward to living epic.

Thank you for choosing to spend this few minutes with me.

I hope this episode has left you with a powerful takeaway to apply to your life.

Remember,

It's the small steps we take each day that lead to significant transformation.

Follow me to not miss out on the next insight.

And remember,

One insight can change everything.

So stay present,

Stay focused and embrace the potential of each new day.
